It is with a heavy heart that I report this morning that the Gran Dame of the Frances Martin Pack was lifted from her earthly confines and began the journey to Rainbow Bridge.  Our tears of loss are flowing because we will miss Angel, this dear Airedale girl who constantly reminded all the old and new pack members who was in charge and gave the marching orders.

She arrived at the Martin household three years ago when Frances was contacted by a Tulsa Vet who found Angel tied to his dumpster having endured a particularly fierce winter night snow storm.  No worse for wear, both spirit and body thrived while living at the Martin house.  In recent years, age related illness slowed her down a bit, but did not change the pack order.  Angel and Bridgett had issues, as would be expected, but at the end, differences were peacefully resolved.  Angel never had a quarrel with Gabby.

Angel, Benjamin and Stuey played often and she barked at foster Airedaly boy Darby and the foster Scotty boys to pay attention.

We know Angel will be healed of all her suffering and this brings us comfort.  How blessed we are that she came into our lives
